Mountain Heaven in the Picos de Europa
The Spring flower season in the Picos de Europa is short but spectacular – there are around three weeks between 20th May and 7th June when the mountains burst into life with a wide array of colourful alpine plants.
Collett's Mountain Holidays
Collett’s put together a well organised trip which enabled us to see far more of the beautiful flowers this region has to offer than we would ever have done if we had visited on our own. Highly recommended.

We were based at The Posada el Corcal de Liébana which is a good location for reaching all the sites and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
